Welcome to DPD!The DPD Project is a thematic mix-CD project created by music geeks and best friends Chris Diamond, Chris Prokop, and Michael Darpino. Each CD in the project has a theme that ties the songs on it together. For every theme we each pick five songs that we feel best represent it. The collected fifteen songs are then mixed together in alternating order based on our last names. The songs that end up on DPD are meant to be the very best songs for their particular theme. We write liner notes for each song to explain why we picked it for that theme. The project has grown into a sort of musical memoir over the years since music has been and still is such a huge part of our lives. Most Recent Discs:

Random DPD Pick:Sixty Seconds to What? by: Ennio Morricone from: For a Few Dollars More: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Picked By: darpino For: DPD: 038 - MLIM: The Five Footnotes Music from Movies has been a huge part of my life as far back as I can remember. Since we grew up without cable and rarely went to the movie theate, I saw most of my movies on local channels on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Before the VCR age kicked into high gear most of the movies I watched were 60's Westerns, Kung Fu, Spy flicks, 70's thrillers and Creature features. Once we got a VCR these classics were replaced by all the 80's action greatness and these early flicks were eclipsed for awhile. When I met my buddy Josh, he and I really bonded over the fact that we loved these old movies and the music that was in them. We both seek out and collect 60's and 70's movie music and it seems like my tastes are always revolving between the music from Westerns, Espionage flicks and old Horror. I think in the end it is a tie for my favorite composer between Ennio Morricone and Lalo Schifrin. I chose this Morricone track because it is essential for the scene that it accompanies. The fact that the music plays such integral part of the actual climax of the movie is so awesome. It is one of the few times when a movie score is more than accompaniment it is actually a part of the action in the film. That makes the music so powerful, it gives me chills everytime I watch it. The final showdown in "For a Few Dollars More" has got to be one of the greatest in movie history and it taught me more about honor and loyalty than any after school special or moment on the little league field ever could. |
